Database disappearing

[wimyogya]

Hello,
Have been using Everything for many years - never a problem.
Up to a few weeks ago. Since then my everything.db seems to get lost - at least: it will not load, even if it is in the correct location.
As a result I have to do a force rebuild every time, which takes time with 2 internal and 5 external harddisks...
What can be wrong?
Thanks, greetings,
Wim/Indonesia

Please try enabling "Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything" from Tools -> Options -> General.

If the problem persists, please try running Everything in debug mode:

• Completely exit Everything (Right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit)
• Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
• Change the following line:
  debug=0
  to:
  debug=1
• Save changes and restart Everything
• What is displayed in the debug console after the Everything window is shown?

To disable debug mode:

• Completely exit Everything (Right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit)
• Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
• Change the following line:
  debug=1
  to:
  debug=0
• Save changes and restart Everything

Hello,

The settings in tools > options > general has always been like you suggested, so I did not make changes there.
It costed some puzzling to find out the debug console and procedure, but once it was activated it was a neverending but to my opinion very regular process of checking, starting etc. Do not really know what it means and how to see if anything is 'buggish'.

But...
After I restarted Everything just now, it AGAIN started to scan all my disk, as if no .db could be found/loaded.
Any other suggestion?

Thanks!
Wim

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
In a file called errorlog.txt I find the same message since June 5, every couple of days:

Only 1 time there was a different message:
07.06.2016 18:51: Everything 1.3.4.686 (x64): .\src\os.c(6045): os_get_usn_journal(): DeviceIoControl(0000000000000560,FSCTL_QUERY_USN_JOURNAL,0,0,000000000279f0f8,56,000000000279ef10,0): 87: Failed to query USN Journal.

No clue what this all means, but maybe it shines a bright light for you.
Thanks!

Thanks for the error logs.

There's no obvious issue.

Please try increasing your Maximum USN Journal size:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab.
• For each NTFS volume:
  • Change Maximum size to: 65536
• Click OK.

If the problem persists, please try the Everything 1.4 beta.

[wimyogya]

I changed the NTFS settings. No problems so far.
If they start again I will switch to the new beta.
Thanks for your help!
